This year’s DPP Event will focus on the successful deployment of Digital Product Passports accelerating the EU transition towards a more digital, circular and sustainable steel industry.

Featured Project

The featured project for 2026 is SMARTChain project. SMARTChain advances the digitalisation of the steel value chain through secure data sharing, system interoperability and stronger collaboration between steel producers and users.

Overview

Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record that includes comprehensive data about a product’s lifecycle – e.g. materials, manufacturing, sustainability, etc.- mandated by EU regulations. The DPP enables better resource management, promotes reuse and recycling, and helps businesses and consumers make informed choices towards a more sustainable circular economy.

The Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS), through the I-SENSE Group’s Division of Circular Economy, launched a dedicated event series on Digital Product Passport and Tracing. These events provide a platform for exchanging ideas, identifying challenges for DPP implementation and showcasing innovations that can drive a harmonized approach across Europe.
